Voting on the by-law took place on Monday. The vote was 262 for and only 22 against. This means that in the near future a permanent road through the, town will replace the old gravel road.. The curb -stone will be laid this year and it is not likely that the road will be put down until next year. There was a good turn- out of voters on Mondoydue largely to the fact that several citizens inter- ested in the passing of the by-law assisted in getting out the vote. The vote by divisions was: For Polling Div. No. 1. 63 Polling Div. No. 2. 95 Polling Div. No. 3. 72 Polling Div. No. 4. 27 Against 4 7 5 6 HENSALL VOTES TO AID TWO NEW INDUSTRIES Hensall citizens on Monday voted on three by-laws and alrthree passed. One to raise money to pay off the debt on the Town Hall, carried by a ten to one majority. The second to provide a bonus of $200 a year to the Jackson Clothing Manufacturing Company of Clinton, carred by a ma- jority of 5 to 1. I;, will mean the employment of about thirty or forty persons at the new plant. The third was to furnish the same amount to the Imperial Gas and Oil Heating Co. of Toronto, carried by a majority of 3 to. 1. Tey will build stoves and furnaces.. This will also mean a new industry with many persons em- ployed. Residents expressed them- selves as most pleased that the town had favored assistance to the indus- tries. Robert Lorimer, well known as the mail contractor and stage driver be- tween Hensall and Zurich for over 30 years died on Sunday and was buried on Tuesday In the Hensall Union Cemetery. He was a univer- sal favorite and was well liked by everyone. He was a patient sufferer through a somewhat long illness. DIEL) AT GREAT AGE.

The fuller - al tank place to 'thee Exeter cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS Mrs. Blake recently had the mis- fortune to fall over a chair and break her arm. Mr: Harry Delbridge of Usborne was kicked in the forehead by a colt on Tuesday afternoon, inflicting; a wound that required several stit ehes to close; Mrs. Wellington Hera who had the misfortune to fall down cellar on Wednesday of last week and fracture her arm, is improving as well as can be expected. She was coming up from the cellar when she turned. to again descend the stairs and in some man- ner she tripped and fell. Mr. Bern was in the house at the time and medical aid was immediately sum- moned. Mr. Harold Kuntz, met with an. ac- cident Thursday, of last week which may cost him the sight of one eye. Mr. Kuntz has been assisting with the mechanical work at the Ford gar- age. He was underneath makibg some adjustments when the sharp end of a wire punctured his eye. He was taken to the London hospi- tal for treatment and it is feared he may loose the sight of the eye. On Friday last while Mr. Wm. Treble was returning from Elimville with a horse and buggy something went wrong with the harness and the horse made a dash for Iiberty. It broke loose from the buggy and while coming up the London road ran into a horse and buggy driven by Mr. Jas. Essery. One wheel was broken off the rig. The horse wheeled around and also ran away. Both horses were captured after running a short distance. Mr. Noble Scott, of Stephen, was unfortunately kicked by a' horse and his jaw bone was broken and face badly bruised and cut. Mr. Scott was putting the team away at noon when the accident happened. He was knocked unconscious and could not recall the circumstances of the accident. When he did not come into dinner Mrs. Scott went to the barn and found him. Dr. McGilli- cuddy of town was immediately sum- moned. Little Mavis Spencer, Lour year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Spencer, suffered a painful accident Saturday afternoon and narrowly es- caped death. She was out on the verandah and lit a match catching her clothes on fire. The screams of the child attracted the attention of the mother who smothered the flames with her apron. One side and arm of the child were blistered by the heat. The Iittle girl bad just awak- ened from a sleep and owing to the hot weather was thinly clad. Had it not been for this and the prompt action of the mother .more serious results might have taken' place. • Mr. Wm. Balkwill met with an ac- cident when his car overturned into the ditch but luckily he was alone and escaped any serious injuries. He was driving along the road and came up behind another car and blew his horn to pass. The driver in the car ahead did not hear the horn but turned out to avoid a hole in the road. Mr. Balkwill thinking he was turning out to let him pass started to go ahead when the other', car came back onto the road and he was forced off. The car turned over breaking the windshield and top. Mr. Balkwill received a wound in the shin that required three stitches to close. On Saturday evening a collision occurred on Main St. at the South end of the town. A party of return- ned soldiers from Lucknow were on their way to London in a Ford car. At the same time Mr. Will Arm- strong, of town was going in the op- posite direction in his Overland. Mr. Armstrong was on the wrong side of the road and did not turn out as soon an the other driver thought he should. Thinking there would be a collision the Ford was turned off to the left at the same time that Mr. Armstrong turned out. The cars col- ided and a front wheel was torn off the Ford, every spoke in the wheel being broken. Mr. Armstrong's tire was punctured. No one in the cars were hurt. A new wheel was secured at the garage and the party proceed- ed on their way after a short delay. Mr. Armstrong paidfor the biggest part of the damages. iV Seed Cern, Potatoes and Miliet, For Sale We have a specially selected stock. of Seed Corn; germination 90 tts 96 per cent, in to following varieties; EARLY BUTLER., LMPRyOVED LEEMING, WISCONSIN N.D. 7, WHITE CAI', GOLDEN GLOW, for ensilage . proc.poseg4 Also the foliowng varieties of Flint Corn, King Phillip, Longfellow and White Dakota.

E[[aii(e Honors Hier Heroes A community gathering to publicly welcome home the boys from 'over- seas was held at Elimville an Friday afternoon of last week_ The affair was a brilliant success and in honor- ing the boys the community did hon- or to itself. Despite the hot weather a large crowd gathered in the orch- ard of Mr. Joshua Johns. The Exet- er band was present and enlivened the proceedings with numerous sel- ections. A large platform was Preet ed for the open-air program. Mr. Joshua Johns acted as chairman. In preparing a welcome to the re- turned boys the community did not. forget the parents of the boys who will not return and whose graves and whose graves are marked by little crosses in Flanders Fields. Three of the boys from the commun- ity who made the supreme sacrifice were Loftus Hern, Lawrence Earl Johns and Geo. Edward Kelletta. The parents of these three boys Me. and Mrs. Phillip Hern, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Johns and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Kellett were called to the platform, Mr. Johns being unable to be present through illness.' -On behalf of the community Rev. Mr. Parnaby made a brief address to the parents and presented them with beautiful mor- occo bound, Ieather bound bible;:;. On the fly leaf of the bible was this inscription "Presented to Mr. anti Mrs. (name) in memory of their son (name) who made the supreme sac- rifice in defence of freedom (date) by Elimville, Sunshine and Zion Ivfethodist churches and Community" The presentations to the returned boys were under the direction of Mr. W. G. Medd, and the following boys were called to the platform; Fred Poole, William R. Natter: Edgar Gorvett, Harry Smith, Will Vale, Will Smith, John K. Cornish, Fred Wright and Jackson Wood:. After they had taken their places the following little girls were called upon to assist in the presentation Gladys Earl, Verna Brock, Alma Marjorie Delbridge. Marjorie Hunter Mildred Bell and Evelyn Parnaby. Johns, Mildred Routley, Ina Jaques, Mr. Medd then read the address that: appears below. At the opportune time the little girls each placed an engraved signet ring on a Sinker of each boy. Mr. Ted Poole replied to the ad- dress on behalf of the boys and in a. few words full of meaning that thril- led the hearts of his hearers, he thanked the community for honoring them. The boys from, overseas ap- preciate the fact that those at home appreciate what the boys have done: He had heard the remark that the boys who went overseas had gotten into ways that they could not break and would not make as good citizens as before they left Canada's shores. They liked their country well enough. to fight for it. They were glad to return. They come back with broad- er minds and look upon things with a different light. The boys have faced death many times and there is nothing like death to make a man think. The returned boys will stand ,for Canada. He thanked the ladies Continued on page five.
